The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less.

I am truly horrified by modern man. Such absence of feeling, such narrowness of outlook, such lack of passion and information, such feebleness of thought.

Today's man of the world proclaims that sin, and his enterprising in sin, are a part of modern living, but it is not modern. It goes back to Adam and Eve - to desire and the temptation to know - to experience evil.

I am not a modern man, I am just a wee old fashioned one.

The reason for the sadness of this modern age and the men who live in it is that it looks for the truth in everything and finds it.

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

The man who is gloomy, taciturn and lives in a world of doubt seldom achieves more than a bare living. There have been a few who have groaned their way through to a competence, but in proportion to that overwhelming number of souls who carry cheer through life, they are as nothing - mere drops in the bucket.

A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
